I have followed this article completely (https://www.gulshankumar.net/install-wordpress-with-lemp-on-ubuntu-18-04/). But after installing WordPress and visiting my domain I am facing this error. Please check the screenshot. https://prnt.sc/wesowc (As iam new user I cannot upload image so i uploaded it in prnt.sc)
Note: I have tried these steps on both Digital Ocean and Vultr and I got same error on both.
@aashish Please type below command in SSH Terminal. Let me know what log do you see.
tail -f /var/log/nginx/access.log
In that article, right now there are three versions of Server block, which one are you using?

Delete existing NGINX config from /etc/nginx-sites-available/ and /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Then, implement Cache Enabler Server block, see if it works.
Can you please guide me step by step what to do? I am beginner so i am finding difficult. Please help!!!
First take a snapshot.
rm -f /etc/nginx/sites-available/* && rm -f /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*
cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/
nano example.com
Paste below code using right click then press CTRL + O and Enter key to save.

It worked!!! Sir I highly respect your support and work. I am feeling very happy after fixing this problem. Thanks for explaining in brief.
I was just about to ask - was my last reply helpful?
Glad to know it’s all set now. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
While installing 2nd wordpress and running the following command certbot --nginx -d example2.com -d www.example2.com I am getting error.
Note - I have replaced example2.com with my domain name.
The above guide is intended only for single Installation.
For your error message fix, keep IP pointed before attempting to get new cert.
In the comment section of your article i found these steps.
Assuming, second site is example2.org
You need to follow steps this way.
- create a new directory and add WordPress (Ref: steps 31)
cd /var/www/
mkdir example2
wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
tar -xvzf latest.tar.gz
mv -v wordpress/* /var/www/example2
rm -rf index.nginx-debian.html latest.tar.gz wordpress
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www
- Create a new Server block with root path located to new directory as created in step 1.
cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/
nano gulshankumar-orgserver {
listen 80;
root /var/www/example2;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name example2.org www.example2.org;
…
- Point your example2.org domain to DNS, then install SSL
certbot --nginx -d example2.org -d www.example2.org
Create new MySQL database
sudo mysql -u root -p
create database example2;
grant all on example2.* to example2@localhost identified by ‘TYPE HERE PASSWORD’;
flush privileges;
exit;Proceed to Installation by visiting your site https://example2.org
I am getting error on step 3. Also, i have already pointed the ip address 2 hours ago and i am using cloudflare.
I see you’re are using slightly different method to obtain SSL certificate which requires origin IP to be pointed for domain.
https://check-host.net/ip-info?host=oztechnews.com
At the time of writing this response, it shows CF.
In Cloudflare DNS Menu > Switch from Proxy to DNS mode. Then you can proceed using above command.
I generally prefer Cloudflare DNS method for let’s encrypt as written in main Article.
Other best option is using Cloudflare Origin SSL certificate for user intended to use CF for proxy.
Ok got it. So i need to run this command -
certbot certonly --dns-cloudflare --dns-cloudflare-credentials /root/.secrets/cloudflare.ini -d example.com,*.example.com --preferred-challenges dns-01
Create new MySQL database
sudo mysql -u root -p
create database example2;
grant all on example2.* to example2@localhost identified by ‘TYPE HERE PASSWORD’;
flush privileges;
exit;Proceed to Installation by visiting your site https://example2.com
Then follow the above steps. Right??
Yes, give a try.
done! But when i visit the domain2.com instead of wordpress setup page the domain it is redirecting to main domain.com? Any solution for this??
server_name directive can help.
